Didn't the "sailor" in question and AP defend this story?

Majied assisted SEAL teams while he was in the Navy

Probably packed their parachutes. Polished their shoes.

FreeRepublic once again becomes the fact-checker for the MSM. Time they started paying for the services.

Another story corrected?

So Freepers nailed AP on the "Boo's". They nailed Rather/CBS on forged documents. And they nailed AP again on the SEAL claims.

Sending a link to AuthentiSEAL would seem to be a most appropriate course of action.

Good call, TMcG. Bravo Zulu.

"I should have been more specific," he said Friday.

" I was a SEAL. Well, to be more specific, I was not a SEAL."

Has anyone found out what this guy's name was before he changed it? Do we know if he was ever in the Navy?

"I should have been more specific," he said Friday.

Journalistic weasel words.

He should have been more honest.

And now that one of his claims has been vetted and found wanting, will the "journalist" who spread this deception also call into question everything else this liar said?

Great post. Here's what the AP reporter originally said when told that Majied wasn't a SEAL:

In an interview with WorldNetDaily, however, Minor says he has no reason to disbelieve Majied's story.

"I really trust this guy," he said. "I believe he's a real straight shooter."

Minor says Majied didn't give him his previous name, "and I didn't press the matter."

The vet has received "nasty calls" since the issue has been publiclized, Minor says, adding, "This is a very peaceful guy. … There's a peace about his voice."

Minor says Majied homeschools his seven children. "These are really upstanding people," he told WND.

At some point didn't AP say that the reason Majied didn't show up as a SEAL was that he was previously known by another name and he changed it when he converted to Islam?

The retraction makes it sound like an inadvertant mistake whereas AP actually attempted to justify this guy's credentials and impugn Travis McGee.

"Majied assisted SEAL teams while he was in the Navy, but never was trained as a SEAL. "I should have been more specific," he said Friday."

Well, that's funny, he told elfman in a phone conversation that he attended SEAL school...haha, as if there's such a thing called SEAL school.
